Happy New Year...

As the curtain falls for 2008...i look back at wat ive accomplished..sadly not much..oni hop jobs but suffice to say its just a job..it does not make me wake up everyday feeling energetic..im still harbored at the depressing routine of having to attend to things.. so that i see a certain amount in my account by pay day...im stuck..Damn it!! y cant i be a personal shopper..(bcoz my mom won't let me of course.huhu) within 5 years time..i hope i will be on the rite track..pouring my heart out on something that i love doing..n earning $ with it...(but i still have to find that ("THING TO DO")...the only thing that kept me going last year was my bundle of joy...n the love of my life..

I hope better things will come our way..insyallah..hope there'll be oppertunities to travel..(better pay check from my better half..*wink..*wink)..that my family immediate n extended will be blessed n guarded by Allah Almighty..I hope that i will learn to love my job..(if i don't i hope my parents will understand)

Of the hopes that better things will be in store for the future..i als0 hope that God will guide me n my family to be a better muslim...n try not to be soo indulge in this material world..i hope that evil will not blind me for wats in store in this temporary place so that i can accomodate some time for our after life...n i really really hope my afterlife will be with my loved ones...afterall wat is the value of life if not to be happy...n happiness to me is to be surrounded by the people that i love in hope that they will also love me in the same way...

Lastly to my dear friends..i hope ur wishes come true n that our frenship will be stronger than ever...may Allah bless you guys n family....

Holiday Mood.............

Off late my workload is not giving me break..im soo in a holiday moood rite now..I just wish that i cud be doing something i love more....(read conflict of interest) but one thing that keeps my sanity is this little human being that gets me going each passing day...



He's really cheeky..i just love wen he giggles..but im a bit worried that he's almost 13 months but has still yet to walk.he can walk if i hold only one of his hand..n he loves to lean on things but still seem very afraid to let go....a few friends hav mentioned to use a walker..but reason being is that i came across a few article that a walker actually causes more harm in a sense that it only strengthens the lower part of the leg n not the upper..n is accidents prone specially for those living in small spaces like me..my cousin fell from his walker which cause a permanent mark on his face..so that is why i refuse to use the walker..no offense to anyone..juts that i don't feel good about it..n I believe that we should follow our feelings (provided that its backed by facts..refer to this) rather than following wat others do..just my 2 cents..after all if anythg happens its u who deal with it..

Ill be going back to JB (read: ikan bakar, ice kacang, mee rebus, yong tau foo, rojak asma) tomorrow but don't think ill stay that long after JB will b MUAR to visit my grandma..i miss her n she's not well..Shes 85 this year..n osteoporosis is catching up on her i really hopes she gets well soon....On another note I think I mite checkout Pyramid today with my bam bam...since we haven't been to any malls for this festive season..(hopefully i get the green lite form the SE in TDC...hihi..

So to u guys..have a happy holiday n merry Christmas to those celebrating..I miss Christmas in UK..boxing day even more..(shopping galore)..hihi

LIPSTICK JUNGLE

I finished watching Season 1 of Lipstick Jungle the other day..n I loved it..D Executive producer is no other than Candace Bushnell...bravo to her..I love her work..there's actually a lipstick jungle book..which im aiming to get my hands on..(or hoping that someone mite be kind enuff to buy for me..*wink.wink)

Lipstick Jungle to me is a diversion of SATC...more power more career oriented but nonetheless entertaining with the scandals n all...an i admire their wardrobe..fantastic compared to SATC..im more a conservative all plain minus frills wen it comes to playing dress up..I love Lindsay Price..I think she is sooo pwetty...n her characters sense of style is....awwww...ok so u get me..im not on the SJP train wen it comes to sense of style...

But anyway gurls..if u have time watch it... the first season only has 7 episodes..n my SIL says it was aired on Astro but im not so sure..i just prefer watching TV series on DVD as theres no commercial n u can pause ..rewind..resume..(ok so u get it...) i have the DVD but my SIL has book to see it..so if anyone is interested do let me know..i charge RM10 per DVD per day..hahah no only joking...

Btw..i forgot to mention Brooke Shields is oso in it..but shes no longer stunning as she used to be..she has aged..n so hav we..sigh...

So thumbs up for this TV series from me...

MY PADAWAN IS ONE!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY..

My BABY is ONE.... OMG i cannot believe...One year ago at this present time I was screaming my lungs out to deliver my padawan..n now a year has past.. i can still remember clearly the pain of being induced.... the longest EVER 2 hours of my life....bearing the pain...n the feeling wen i first laid my eyes on my padawan..

The crying (me the most) hahha..the stress.. the first smile...the first giggle....the first fever..all those r a prominent chapter in my life..that i would not trade even for a million bucks....

To my baby Harris..

Mama loves u with all of my heart n soul..u just brighten every gloomy day that i endure...n im sorry for not being being able to give u all this world offers..but trust me..mama n papa will go through all ends to give u the best... mama n papa loves u..thank you GOD for giving me the best gift..we could ever wish for...

Happy Birthday

Love it.....

while blog hopping i found this photo of the diamonds of my life from one of my cousin in laws hubby blog... i just love it..captured at the very rite moment...thank u for capturing it...

Updates...

ok..i wish to update..but the thing is nothing really pumps up my blog adrenaline now.. everything is soo monotonous...i have S**it load of work to be done..lets just leave it as that..

On the brighter side of things..My padawan will be ONE the 4th...oh my..how time flies..n his not a baby anymore...althou im living in denial as Im soo used to calling him "Baby..hav u eaten..u want susu..Baby nak sleep?..." yes ur mama is still hoping u wont grow up soo fast..I clearly remembered the stressfull phone calls to my buddies asking? "does this constant crying ever stop??" "do they nurse like every hour???" hehhehhe..gone r those days..n to those expecting thier first..The answers are "YES..gradually the constant crying n making u feel u wanna hurl up n just die in the closet will go away..."

Insyallah if #2 comes..(Which is not in the near future..so don't get all hype ok..I still have my Pregnancy weight..duh!!) Ill be better prepared..heheh..

N with his age turning 1, alhamdulillah..I will pass the one year mark of exclusively Breastfeeding my son..EXCEPT for twice the time I had to be away on a course..which till now I feel the guilt of having to supplement him due to my dumbness in not stocking my EBM during my confinement days..(thats wat u call cetek ilmu..hehhe) Im not here to boast or any of the sort..but its a life achievement for me..the best gift I can give my son..hopefully it will be of use in future....


There will be no major celebrations for my padawan..because I dont think its necessary..afterall what does he know about birthdays..but i'll definately buy a cake for fun to mark the day..(to those who do celebrate thier childs one year old birthday..pls don't get offended...me n hubby just feel that a party wont be necessary for now but i respect other ppls reason in having one..)

On the 8th..it'll be our anniversery...our 2nd..ye..baru 2 years married...n it falls spot on Raya Haji..a dual celebration..last year I was in my 4th day of Confinement..so I guess no romantic dinner of the sort..probably go to sembahyang Raya sama2..romantic gak tu...for those who know my man personally will know Romantic does not exist in his vocabulory...but im not complaing..but like the song Im soo into rite now...Im LUCKY to be with him...

GARAGE SALE

hi folks..im letting go a few of my stuff n oso helping frens to let go off their stuff too...so feel fre to visit http://mysticalbargain.blogspot.com/ or click here

Mama work..harris play..

Had to attend a course on Contract Administration last Sunday at TBR..luckily they allocated room for the Executive levels n above so i cud bring bam bam..if not i wud hav declined going..

It was a 3 days 3 nights course n there were classes at nite too...so basically not much pleasure time...but in between manage to bring bambam swimming..his first...althou he was a bit reluctant at first to be in the water..but he became more relax the next day..


My review on TIARA BEACH RESORT :

Its quite a comfortable place to be..the rooms are quite generous in terms of the space..the perks is that they have a huge swimming pool...aka waterpark...so thou they have numerous blocks of studio apartments..there's still room for everyone in the pool...the food was ok..not to say marvellous or splendid..but ok..edible.. the downside of it is that the resort was far**in far from PD town...20KM away ok...n the nearest petrol station was 10 km away...that was the the real downside of it..i had to drive 20km to n fro everyday to buy my maids dinner..hotel food was a bit on the expensive side..RM10 for nasi ayam..

To sum it up..if ur on a middle class budget..this is a place for u guys...


TBR has even got a kids playroom..n harris loved playing in it...

I think bambam really enjoyed the place as every opportunity i had to go back n check on him..he was asleep..both of them (my maid n bambam) kept dozing off..waah vacation betul derang ni..bambam even slept early everynite..930pm gone...very unlikely at home..normally he wud be cranky n want me to BF him first..here...he cud just doze off..magic...heheh


I sure hope hubby cud join us next time..we missed him while we were there...

TRIFFLE

Several friends have requested for my triffle reciepe...not that im a great cook or what but since one of my friend came yesterday asking me to assist her in preparing it..n i promised another friend id blog it up..so here goes..it is the simplest easiest yummy dessert for u guys to try...I hav to give credit to my aunt who gave me the recipe... i just love how simple it is plus its soo heavenly nice..hehhe


Ingredients
Swiss Roll - 1 Roll
Jelly (my choice Nona) - 1 box
Fruit Cocktail - 1 tin
Evaporated Milk (i usually use Ideal) - 1 tin
Water - 1.5 tin
Sugar - 3/4 tablespoon
Custard (Birds) - 2.5/3 tablespoon

Whipped Cream -1 small box

.........................................................................................................................................................................

1. Cut n lay the swiss roll on the base of the serving dish

2. Cook the jelly n let it cool down for 5 minutes.. then pour on top of the swiss roll layer (don't worry if ur swiss roll starts to get soggy..it's meant to be that way..)

3. For the custard..mix 1 tin of evaporated milk + 1.5 tin of water + 3-4 tablespoon sugar+2.5 tablespoon of custard.. cook the mixture..make sure u keep stirring till it boils...

4. Layer the fruit cocktail on top of the jelly...then after the custard has cooled off a bit (in abt 10 minutes) pour on top of fruit cocktail..

5. Done..it should look like this...u can put in the fridge..but pls let it cool of for at least 20 minutes...

6. For the xtra umph...whip some whipped cream n layer on top of it before serving...

p/s : This is my equation of a tablespoon..and the one i did for my friend was for a big group of ppl..but my ingredients r for 5-6 ppl...

DIGI baby...

i will follow u...follow u wherever u may go...

i had the oppertunity to go to the metrojaya warehouse sale last thursday...thou my SIL beat me to it...hehe n i had to rush home ASAP.. but 1 hour was enuff for me to burn my $$$...the best catch has to be buying my padawans pj's.. i bought a handfull all for oni RM44.50 (ill upload the photo's later) as u all know..im a sucker for bargains..hehe..

My DIGI man..(can u believe that this sleepsuit oni cost RM7..best best..hehe)

My dear padawan had a fever the next morning...so i asked my maid to monitor the guy's tempreture...upon arriving home...i saw my padawan in his new yellow sleep suit..he looked just ike the DIGI-man...he was soo cute..(to me lah)..thou his tempreture was quite high 39.0.. i decided to visit our GP...verdict: mite be he's teething...

Apparently the next day his temperature stayed within the range of 38.3-39.0 it rose to 39.9 by nite..i was praying for the 6 hours interval to past quickly as the GP told me that u need to wait till 6 hrs before u can give him the butt medication after the oral medication..(n oni once within 24 hours)..after numerous attempts the capsule went in..n i took him to our room..full blasted the aircond...n oso sponge my padawan..stuck kool-fever on his head..then oni the temperature started gowing down..my parents (who was at my place) kept saying ..no need to panic..they said harris looked fine..but of course i panic..he's never had a high fever n the basic rule i learned is that for kids 6 months and above if the tempreture reaches 39.4 we should make it go down fast..alhamdulillah next day..his fever vanished..but i made him stay at home n didn't bring him anywhere for the fear that the heat n open hse activity wud trigger the fever back..

So on Monday..it was back to open hse..n this time at my uncles in Bkt Jelutong..thot it was oni for close frens n relative..didn't know he invited 1k++ gust..mcm kenduri kawin..hahha there were numerous stalls..even mee rebus baidali was there..n because i took care of my darling padawan..i ended up getting a bad flu...n its still with me..huhuhu

I SOooo Lurve this

Im soooooo in Love with this song...dedicated to the love of my life...

Weekend Part 1

Since im unable to download Picasa at d office i cant compile the photo's at one go..thus i have to break this weeks ramblings in two entries..if not i'tll be endless.. The anticipated weekend started off with attending the solemnization of weezal's cuzzie at Beverly Heights...
Twas a simple affair..but i adored the bride's outfit to bits..done by the famous Jovian who is oso a good fren of hers...

The glowing bride...(pic credit from azra's cam)

My padawan behaved extremely well that nite..so me had a good time...he even met up with "Abg Impak Maksima"..who is oso a very2 good fren of the bride..

"u soo look familiar..."

"naah..could b somebody else..."

We had a good time..

Then after a few open hse on Saturday we attended the reception that nite... and again I fell in love with the bride's gown..designed by....u know who...he's designs r magic..c for urself..
(photo taken from my SIL fb...my photo ta cantik...)



Below r the photo's of once upon a time bride n groom at this nice reception..(wearing their reception attire oso..hehe)

Ur attendance is greatly appreciated

Why..oooh why...

Ok..I wanna update..but as usual am tooo lazy plus finding bloghopping more enticing...i guess its human nature that we always complain about our life..not exciting..no money..endless workload..piling chores...having unsatidfied material needs ...LV..FENDI...PRADA..HERMES..TODS?? wher r u in my wardrobe? others hav u..while I don't..sigh..sigh..sigh..and as a normal human being oso we always tend to compare with the likes of us..or those who have more than us rather than those who think owning a BONIA is something... mind u..don't be offended when i say BONIA..BONIA is an expensive brand nowadays..u can easily see RM700 on thier price tags.. n my mom has a couple of BONIA bags.. just that the dotter loves to eye for more exorbitant labels..konon more exquisite la the design..and the mother n fatherr debt free while the dotter is ..well lets not get into that subject.. in simple words..how i wish i could follow in her footsteps on this.. ni not like mother like dotter..

A friend of mine mention the other day..the not soo best part of acquiring designer handbags is the fact that even Liz Clairborne (LC) seems unappealing anymore...she used to love LC..well to my dear fren.. u hit that note rite..I myself used to love LC's design..(LC..hehe is oso my wedding caterer..haha setapp!!!!(out of context jap)) the designs r nice n the price is soo affordable..same goes wen u start to buy jewellary at SELBRAN (ni my case lah)..the Poh Kong..TOMEI n gang all hav the same fate e as LC..where as..they sell nice jewellary too..duh!! It's hard wen u set a standard for urself..I went into JEDAN at PKNS yesterday browsing thru their baju kurung..I fell in love with a few of thier designs..price tag RM18**!!! ...can u imagine if we start buying our baju kurung at that price tag?? maybe u guys tak lah kot..but me..nanti yg RM200 Baju kurung will seem all plain..thank god I brought my sanity along... I still wear the below RM50 baju kurung to work n it does not bother me if ppl say its cheap..im still comfortable in it.. I wear pass down clothes..my MIL gave me a lot of her clothes that she cud not fit in..n im ok with it..on that part..Im still ok..alhamdulillah..the only part that I wish I could churn back is the obsession on designer handbasg n jewellary.. Im still ok with cheap shoes but,,hehe there's a but..providing that it comes from a reputable brand..i'd anyday buy shoes that cost RM20 from Vincci or the sort rather than RM 20 from.. the xyz label..

i hope that one day if I have a dotter..she will not follow in my footsteps..hope she'd be more like her tok mama in this sense rather than me..im a bad influence..haha these things r heridity...


P/s : just ignore my ramblings..tah hape2..must b PMS....
